Call for ageing Microsoft XP computers for those in need

With Microsoft announcing that computers using its 13 year-old XP operating system will be phased out in April this year, Camara Education are calling for these machines for donation to be used in education centres across the globe.

From Silicon Republic:

Users of the popular operating system, particularly the estimated one in three businesses still using it, will be required to move to the newer Windows 7 or 8, or else face serious problems as Microsoft ends all support for XP by 8 April.

Now Camara Education, a charity that educates disadvantaged communities, is asking for old units so they can be refurbished and re-used to help provide students with digital skills.
